Actually heard HC's recording 1 day before the competition, ok la, i did not want to expect too much because the judges this year was much stricter. so the day started with me being late to queue up with the rest of them, reached at 7.45am but thanks to Daniel Kang and Xinhui we were at the head of the queue! WOOHOO! HAHA...
think i wun want to comment too much on the other bands, so just talk abt HCJC which was quite a shaky gold or silver standard. the tempo for the 1st fast section was very fast, so i guess that's why the band was ver unsteady. but the tonguing was quite clear & good, for such a fast tempo :) yay! haha. only 1 tubist, think he is so super stressed la. haha. den the harp was a good investment too! hehe (i think the JC kopped it from the high school HAHA) then there was a contrabass clarninet too, which helps to ease the tubist's stress haha. apart from the unsteady 1st fast part, i think the rest of the piece was ok. Sunrise sounds safe after the starting notes which had some tuning probs.
OVERALL, THE BAND DID WELL! and HCI (college) got GOLD. yay! good work! and think leng must be super relieved now that the previous silver is now followed by a gold medal. and i heard that most of the CCAs in HCI got gold with hons... crazy school HAHA.
i think VJC did very well. ACJC and SAJC too! i wan to go to finals sia HAHA.. YJC improved alot! overall, this year JC SYF is a good show. :)
============================
Nick's bday celebration at Glasshouse Fish & Co.
so after SYF, we brought Nick to Paradigm Infinitum where we ordered Settlers' of Catan cos the game was out of stock in the whole of sg when I checked at PI, Mind and Settlers. think the game would come in 2 weeks later, at least PI would help to help us order heh (i tink Mind and Settlers bought their games from PI too HAHA)
after that, headed to Glass house.
Seafood platter for 2: share with Yokes
Birthday cake: Ali volunteered to bake, cheese cake! nice!
